Frenon Hogum

Frenon is characterized by his arrogance, entitlement, and deep-seated prejudice against those he deems social inferiors. He frequently relies on his status as a noble to intimidate others but lacks the genuine competence to back up his posturing. He is opportunistic, willing to conspire against rivals when he perceives they are vulnerable, yet he is easily cowed by displays of overwhelming power.

Frenon first appears alongside his father at Count Trequill Lark's party, where they make derogatory comments regarding a stuffed corpse. After his father openly belittles Lith Verhen's commoner status, they are rebuked by Jadon and Keyla Lark. Marchioness Mirim Distar subsequently forces Frenon into a magical duel with Lith, which he loses decisively. Years later, following the Verhen family's departure for the Blood Desert, Frenon leads a group of citizens in an attempt to seize the Verhen family estate, claiming Lith had abandoned his duties. This attempt is thwarted when Lith returns in his Voidfeather Dragon form to intimidate Frenon, forcing him to abandon his plans.
